Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1247 Lyric Theater (Part 2)

  If there is an unfortunate girl who wakes up and opens her eyes and finds that she has come to Versailles at the end of the 18th century, and she does not want to be guillotined like Marie Antoinette, then she must first confirm two things:

  One, she will spend money

  Second, she has the ability to give birth to a son

The intrigue in the workplace does not apply to court battles. It is even more brainless to find Madame Pompadour like the mistresses of Louis XV to fight for the wind. Two people who seem to be at odds with each other may be sincere and trustworthy, and those who seem to be cooperating are actually both. Each has its own calculations.

   Maybe it was because Napoleon saw Pomona’s desire for power, or she seemed stupid, so she was pulled into his chariot.

  As for whether she will become an abandoned son or the one who walks with him, it is all on her own.

  The Civil Code promulgated in January 1801 not only promulgated the new divorce law, but also mentioned the issue of inheritance law.

The Old Salic Code stipulated that only male descendants are eligible for the French throne. Now that the king is overthrown, the Salic Code used before can also go to the library to eat ashes. Then the new inheritance law should How to be sure?

When Pomona established a hospital in the manor of the farmerman Mante, the second wife of Louis XIV, Napoleon would not concentrate on playing the infatuated prince, thinking of her in his heart. On May 9, 1801, Rodrey drafted a draft. Among them, Bonaparte's power to appoint his heir was mentioned, and this proposal was passed by the Senate.

This means that Napoleon Bonaparte can appoint Octavian as his heir just like Caesar. After he appoints the heir, Napoleon can be killed at any time like Caesar. These assassins are not necessarily from foreign countries. It may be from within the Republic.

If according to the eldest son inheritance system, Napoleon’s brother Joseph would become the first heir, and then Lucien. In fact, after this battle, Lucien could not return to Paris at all, and continue to be the "regent" with his wife in Madrid. , But after receiving the news, he felt that he could not come to Paris. He repeatedly reiterated his loyalty to his wife and was never willing to accept the political marriage arranged by his brother. As a result, his inheritance rights were taken away by his brother. .

  In addition, he has another thing to do. This time he returned to China with a large amount of precious metals looted from Portugal. Unlike the United Kingdom, France uses coins, while the United Kingdom uses paper money.

Paper money can be printed at will, and it is best to use it to offset the deficit caused by the war, but this will cause inflation and soaring domestic prices. In the 18th century, British workers lived not much better than slaves. They lived in an impenetrable environment. In the house, after the deduction of the money in the hand and the soaring prices, there is almost no possibility of surplus. This way, they have no money to consume, and cannot keep up with domestic demand. They can only export the products they produce. France also has its own industry that needs to be protected. .

In order for the factory to start working, besides the raw materials, it also needs the flow of funds. Coins are not as convenient as banknotes and require a large amount of precious metals. Money must be spent before they are called money. Put the money in your own vault. It’s fun to count and play. However, this would lead to insufficient hard currency in the market. Napoleon accused the Bank of France of being too cautious about investment, and Portugal’s treasury became the target of the French looting.

  In addition to the upstarts, there are also many financiers participating in the dance. As a mistress, how can Pomona save? She has to spend her money desperately, buying more luxury goods, so that there are enough gold coins in circulation.

  As a result, not only did she not spend money for Napoleon, she also helped him earn money, and came up with a new use for sigbu. Munitions can stimulate the market for a while, but it is not a long-term solution. This is a trick used by the Jacobins.

Men look for women not only to talk about love, but also to have children. If "Georgina" wants her illegitimate child to have the same inheritance rights as a legitimate child, it is not impossible. He passes the inheritance right to that person through the designated inheritance law. That's it for the child.

  Even if she gave birth to a daughter, the Sacre Code has been repealed. Britain and Russia have queens, and France can have them as well. After listening to Lucien’s description, Pomona regretted it very much. She had nothing to ask Napoleon about Caesar’s appointment of Anthony as the heir.

  There are many people in this world who can not be moved by money, but few are not seduced by power.

Pomona just needs to nod her head now, then all she needs to do is try to get pregnant. After the child is born, the two of them will be raised together. As for whether this child will become the successor of the French Republic, it depends on him or her. good fortune.

  What kind of arrogance is to spend a lot of money. Your Excellency Bonaparte takes a European military power with a population of 36 million as a "marital property". Of course, the woman does not have the right to dispose of her own property at will, and the right to dispose of it belongs to her husband.

   "He said that you made him fascinated, not just for fun, Miss Giorgioanna, you think about what I just proposed." Lucien danced proficient waltz steps, leading Pomona around the dance floor gracefully.

   "I must tell you that my brain is now shut down." She said dumbly, "The amount of information is too much."

  "Do you know the biggest difference between you and the other girls who go around him? You are sincere, do you really like him, right? It's not because he is the first in power."

   "Are you kidding me?"

"Are you kidding us?" Lucien smiled indifferently. "Or you really are a British spy? Are you Cleopatra from Britain? I told you this. Do you want to know more? You can try to seduce me, maybe I will tell you some other information."

  "I am a married woman..."

  "Please tell me, what kind of man can beat my brother?" Lucien interrupted her, "Do you want to break his self-confidence?"

   "No, I have no plans."

   "Then you promise him once. You are not a girl who needs to remain virgin before marriage."

  So the man’s rhetoric is really ubiquitous, and she is bored with this question.

   "I can't do that." Pomona said, "Some mistakes can't be made once."

   "You don't have to worry about your future life..."

   "Not so." She continued to shake her head "I don't want him to be the second Napoleon."

  Lucien did not answer.

"Your brother told me that it made him understand how dangerous it is to put all his feelings on one person, but isn't true love like that? True love makes some fools rather risk being caught and eaten by dragons. Danger, but also to rescue the princess in the dragon’s lair. This reckless courage not only comes from chivalry, but also from love, which is regarded as a game and tradeable in the adult world. Something." Pomona said tiredly, "I'm sorry, I can't accept your proposal."

   "You made him feel painful." Lucien said, "How about you leave France?"

   "I mentioned, he wouldn't let me go."

  "This is another shortcoming of my brother. There is no impossibility in his dictionary." Lucien said sadly, "He only considered that he didn't use the method of attacking, and he didn't consider that he had encountered an incapable fortress."

  Pomona is recalling what kind of fortress is incapable, even Constantinople has been captured several times.

   "Please tell your brother, he is a very attractive man." Pomona said, "But we swear to God, either die together or live together, I can't break my oath."

  "Oath? Who takes oath seriously now?"

   "Don't you have one in front of you?" Pomona smiled and said, just as the music ended, she let go of Lucien's hand, bowed her knees to salute him, and was about to leave the dance floor.

A man with a golden mask walked towards her. She didn’t want to say that the scene was very dramatic, but it was like this at the time. The man approached her, held her face and gave her a kiss without saying a word. The surroundings suddenly There was a gasp.

She let his tongue enter her mouth, just like all French kisses in the 20th century, free and informal, even on the side of the street, there will be couples hugging and kissing each other, and there is no need to keep a distance in public. Intimacy It's like a person.

   "Waiting for me to pick you up." Severus said in a low voice, "Today we two can't go together."

   "I will wait for you." She trembled and said, "But please hurry up."

   "Did he touch you?" Severus asked.

   "Not at the moment." Not necessarily in the future, she said heartily.

  He let out a long sigh of relief, kissed her on the forehead, and then rushed to the window.

   With a "clang", the glass of the opera house was smashed, and Severus turned into a black smoke and flew away.

  The Scavengers who were ambushing outside chased after them on their broomsticks, and the wave of the spell came from the sky.

  But she has no time to care about the battle over there.

  Napoleon stared at her and walked over, his eyes full of blood, glowing terribly fierce.

  Pomona handed him a note that Severus had given her just now.

  He didn't take it immediately. Lucien helped him take it. He glanced at the content of the note and took a few policemen away.

  It didn’t take long for Lucien to return, during which time Napoleon stared at Pomona.

   "You should go and see." Lucien whispered to him, "Do you want to take her?"

  Napoleon ignored him, turned and followed the police.

   "Let's go." Lucien stared at her and said, "I know you must be curious."

   Even though curiosity would kill the cat, Pomona followed.

  They arrived in the conference room of the opera house, with red wallpaper, mahogany desks, and a fireplace without a fire.

  A line of words was engraved with a sharp tool behind the chair where the person with the highest status was sitting the farthest from the door:

  Napoleon’s spoiled wife was enjoyed by others.

  Anyone who has been to Venice or who has really known Venice knows that the meaning of this sentence is not just a humiliation for men and women.

  Replace Napoleon’s name with Marino Farrero, the governor of Venice who was convicted of treason, and you can know that this is a death notice.

  He will be beheaded by the council on the platform in the middle of the giant staircase, just like Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

  "Do you want to kill me?" Pomona asked the boys in the room, "I think I have at least the right to choose my own way of death."

  Everyone stared at her, except Napoleon.

  He kept his back to Pomona.

   "Take her to the monastery." Napoleon said calmly after a moment, "Also, put her fetters on."

  He really arranged it like this.

  Pomona did not protest, and Marino's wife volunteered to go to the monastery after the accident.

Napoleon himself found a chair to sit down. No one dared to sit on it. The Scavengers all went after Severus. For a short time, no one would fetter her. She had seen her powerful guards. The army dared not move her at will.

  Just as time passed in silence, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from the outside corridor.

  A messenger came to the door in a hurry.

   "General!" The soldier looked at Napoleon as if he was crying anxiously.

   "What happened?" Lucien asked.

   "The Envoy Cacourt kidnapped the Pope’s Secretary of State and he is now outside Paris." The messenger said pitifully, "Should we open the gate to let them into the city, or let them go to Avignon?"

  Napoleon and Lucien were motionless as if petrified.

  Although Pomona knew she shouldn’t laugh at this time, she couldn’t help but laugh.

  It’s not so comfortable to be a dictator. Even if you don’t go out and cause trouble, trouble will come to your door. Life is really "surprise".
